'Theism' is the belief in God, especially one God, a personal God. Atheism claims theism is not coherent, meaning that God as a concept is riddled with conflicts, inconsistencies and contradictions.

Subscribe to WIRED►► http://po.st/SubscribeWired
In this second episode we take a look at how the Maker movement has been appropriated in a frenetic manufacturing hub like Shenzhen, before exploring how the city’s attitudes to open source hardware are so different to those of the West, and what this might mean for both sides of the argument in the near future. Episode Three is out next Tuesday 21st June, where we’ll be looking further into this challenging and divisive approach to IP. Subscribe to the WIRED YouTube channel to not miss an episode.
Future Cities is part of a new flagship documentary strand from WIRED Video that explores the technologies, trends and ideas that are changing our world.

Canine transmissible venereal tumour: the contagious cancer that conquered the world

Matt Ocko: The Art of Funding Deep Technology


source: Stanford     2016年5月31日
MS&E 476: Entrepreneurship through the Lens of Venture Capital
Matt Ocko is a cofounder and partner at Data Collective Venture Capital (DCVC). DCVC has a unique team of experienced venture capitalists, technology entrepreneurs, and practicing engineers, investing together in seed and early stage big data and IT infrastructure companies. In this talk, Matt discusses the art of funding deep technology such as big data.
Course Description: We often discuss how technology is reinvented and disrupted, but there is also a good amount of change occurring within the venture capital industry. Within the past several decades there have been new entrants, from incubators to angels to different models of venture capital.

The course explores changes in the venture capital industry: from the rise of Sand Hill Road and investing in the dot-com bubble, to incubators and accelerators, equity crowdfunding platform, and different models of venture capital today.

Tom Fletcher: "Naked Diplomacy" | Talks at Google


source: Talks at Google     2016年6月20日
Talks at Google was pleased to host Tom Fletcher, former British ambassador to Lebanon and author of the Naked Diplomat blog, to talk about his new book Naked Diplomacy : Power and Statecraft in the Digital Age.
You can find Tom’s website at https://tomfletcher.global and follow him on Twitter at @TFletcher.

About the book:
Naked Diplomacy is a book that explains how power works and why diplomacy matters more than ever in our digital age. Who will be in charge of the 21st century? Governments? Google? And how do we influence the future? In the next 100 years, the world will need to deal with the same amount of social development witnessed in the last 43 centuries – from the rebirth of the city state, the battle for new energy, disappearing borders, the desire of the world’s people to move to developed nations. Offering real-world examples of how diplomacy continues to have a significant impact on people's lives, and why it will continue to do so, the question at the heart of this book for all those in power is: Who do you represent? How can you do it better. Naked Diplomacy provides the answers.

About the author:
Tom Fletcher is a Visiting Professor of International Relations at New York University, and Visiting Professor of Diplomatic Practice at the Emirates Diplomatic Academy. He was British Ambassador to Lebanon (2011-15), and the Downing Street foreign policy adviser to three Prime Ministers, (2007-11).

James Doty: "Into the Magic Shop" | Talks at Google


source: Talks at Google    2016年5月18日
Dr. James R. Doty is a professor in the Dept of Neurosurgery and the founder and director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education a.k.a CCARE, at Stanford School of Medicine.
In his book, “Into the Magic Shop - A neurosurgeon’s quest to discover the mysteries of the brain and secrets of the heart” Dr. Doty talks about his challenging childhood. When he was 12 years old, he wandered “Into a magic shop” and met a woman who saw the potential in him and taught him how to manifest his greatest desires through a series of techniques and meditative exercises. With her, he learnt a unique relationship between the brain and the heart that lead to incredible success and happiness in life.
Dr. Doty collaborates with scientists from a number of disciplines examining the neural bases for compassion and altruism. He is an inventor, entrepreneur and philanthropist. His work has been published in a variety of research journals.
